Oh, des négociations! À toutes fins utiles: il y a deux jours, le MAE russe Sergey Lavrov a rejeté tout cessez-le-feu & rappelé que Moscou n'avait changé aucune de ses demandes maximalistes vis-à-vis de Kyiv. Il a également faussement accusé l'Ukraine d'avoir commencé la guerre contre la Russie.

Ukraine: Moscou confirme des pourparlers avec Washington et Kiev à Abou-Dhabi
La rencontre nocturne entre Vladimir Poutine et une délégation américaine s’est déroulée pendant près de quatre heures au cœur de la nuit de jeudi 22 à vendredi 23 janvier à Moscou. Il s’agissait de la septième visite de Steve Witkoff en Russie. Sans surprise, cet échange a débouché sur la confirmation, déjà attendue, de premiers pourparlers trilatéraux entre la Russie, les États-Unis et l’Ukraine, qui doivent s’ouvrir dans les prochaines heures aux Émirats arabes unis.

Yes, we refuse to give up. Yes, we have picnics in -15°C. Yes, we keep living, drinking coffee, and even laughing occasionally, but all of this stems from a lack of choice.

In Kharkiv, an air raid alert started just before 9 am, ringing at the same time the daily nationwide moment of silence for the Fallen begins.
I wondered whether the alert would silence the homage, marked by a minute-long metronome-like beat.
